Naked Angels Launches 'NAKED RADIO' at the Cherry Pit 10/15 - 10/17

New York's Naked Angels (Geoffrey Nauffts, Artistic Director; John Alexander, Managing Director; Andy Donald, Associate Artistic Director; Brittany O'Neill, Producer) has announced full casting for the launch of their new podcast series, Naked Radio, at The Cherry Pit (155 Bank Street in the West Village)

On October 15th, 16th and 17th -just in time for Halloween - Naked Radio: Oh The Horror is a the three-evening premiere event featuring original frightening, bone-chilling radio plays - ghosts will scare, zombies will attack, and blood will flow - written especially for this recording by the Naked Angels' newly-formed Naked Radio Writers' Room with all the gory details supported by live Foley artists!

The Naked Radio launch event is written and performed by Zane Birdwell, Salty Brine, Bekah Brunstetter, Sarah Burgess, Cathleen Carr, Eric Clem, Dylan Dawson, Daiva Deupree, Josh Halloway, Josh Koenigsberg, Justin Levine, Will Rogers and Kerry Whigham, with Foley Artists M.L. Dogg and Chris Shade.

"Naked Angels has always worked to take the company's ideas beyond the stage. It's a tricky thing to do, but eventually I think Naked Radio will enhance what the company does live, as well as reboot the genre of radio theater," says Andy Donald, Associate Artistic Director of Naked Angels.

Naked Radio is Naked Angels' new development initiative and season-long production, designed to offer theater artists the opportunity to work in an alternate creative medium, collaborate in writing teams, and perform regularly in a professional radio studio. For Naked Angels, it's a unique opportunity to not only expose captive theatergoers to new media programming, but also a chance to reach a wider metropolitan audience beyond the stage. Content for the initiative is created by the Naked Radio Writers' Room, a weekly writers' group that the artistic staff selects annually from a competitive pool of the city's hottest writers, comedians, musicians and performers. Blending the styles of radio's golden age and today's pop culture, the Naked Radio Writers' Room generates a medley of original audio plays, comic sketches, intriguing real-life interviews with celebrity guests and live musical performances over the course of a given month and records the new material episodically.

Beginning this fall, Naked Angels will distribute the radio programs as downloadable podcasts at www.nakedangels.com.
